Where do you come from?

Sàwàtdii kâ,

Hi everyone and welcome back again for our online Thai lesson. In this blog, I would like to teach you about how to ask Thai people “ Where do you come from?”   In Thai, we ask   “ kun maa jàak…nǎi ká/kráp?” and some location vocabulary to help you practice your Thai kâ.

Location Vocabulary:

1. jàak                                        from

2. jang-wàt                              province

3.pâak                                       region

4.pâak neǔa                             the North

5.pâak ii-sǎan                          the North-East

6.pâak glaang                           the Centre

7.pâak dtâai                              the South

8.pâak dtà-wan ɔ̀ɔk                 the East

9.pâak dtà-wan dtòk               the West
For example:

A:kun maa jàak jang-wàt nǎi ?/คุณมาจากจังหวัดไหน?/Which province are you come from?

B:chán maa jàak jang-wàt Korat./ฉันมาจากจังหวัดโคราช/ I come from Korat province.

OR

A:kun maa jàak pâak nǎi?/คุณมาจากภาคไหน?/ Which region are you come from?

B:chán maa jàak pâak ii-sǎan./ฉันมาจากภาคอีสาน/ I come from the North-east.

I hope everyone enjoyed learning and keep practising Thai na kâ. See you soon. Sawàtdii kâ.
